The purpose of the NEHH was always explicit (and IIRC, this was Gene Daniell's doing). To promote bushwhacking. Enough so that I do know Gene requested anyone ascended Peak Above the Nubble via the cut path should not count it towards the list (indeed, when some of us ascended this we visited...

First, let me preface that this is NOT a criticism in any way of NHFG and SAR volunteers. I know there has to be very good reasons for what I'm asking, I just want to learn, understand and be more knowledgeable. 👍 We have a search (Silver alert) going on in my area, a fellow has been missing...

I wouldn't really bother with the report were it not for the pond, which was a last minute decision I made. I'm sure others have tossed up photos here or elsewhere (Steve seeming to be a certainty!). Last Thursday I went out on a (finally) nice day. LW parking lot nearly 1/3rd full. At 6 AM...

Likely heading to eastern Europe in autumn of 2022 and I'm loving the looks of the Via Ferratas. Anyone have any recommendations for brands, models, etc.? Thanks in advance!

The idea of it is pretty cool to me, that it took 9 days to go from Mass. to Quebec is mind blowing! Details on the route here: https://fastestknowntime.com/route/live-free-or-die-route-nh

I just recently saw the season premier (thank you DVR...) of the show, and it was a 2 hour episode largely focusing on the SAR of the guy attempting the Pemi Loop who was lost for something like 4 days. It is a great, relatively in-depth look at the methods used and efforts made to find this...

I had commented here about some old WMNF maps, providing a link to some of them, and that I had thought some were missing. Still not sure where I got all of them from (only found some in piecemeal places), so I've thrown a zip of all the ones I have at this location. Includes 1914-1918...

Trip report of a 3 day hike probably coming, but I was up on part of the Thoreau Falls trail yesterday and was surprised by a sign saying Trail Work. Heh? Then I saw all the backpacks and tools laying by the bridge, I think there was 7-8 FS folks, all from the Pemi district, including all 4 of...

I know it's a long shot that said person is here, but maybe a slightly interesting story nonetheless. Warner is a fairly rural town, and I'm on a rural road that serves only 3 purposes. Local access (middle portion is dirt), a bypass around a covered bridge, and access to some relatively...

I was poking through the latest SOPA for the WMNF and noted that the have canceled the project to look into options for replacing the former bridge. What's next, the suspension bridge at Lincoln Woods? ;)

I was poking about Chris Dailey's blog, always one my favorite places to read, and one of his recent trips caught my eye showing the trestle at the Black Brook crossing on the Wilderness Trail. It was clear to a lot of people after the October storm caused a shift in the supports that another...

Deadly mountain indeed. :D
